I love Juan Pablo’s Torn Card Evolution! I have used it for a few years now.
You can see it in action here:
It is just perfect and highly recommended!

The new version of the old classic Presto card frame (Thayer Quality Magic c. 1905) has been drastically beautified with a solid aged walnut frame, each piece has been painstakingly selected to amplify the luxurious elegance of the finished frame and base.
This looks like a Sand Frame but works differently and what I like about it is that you can hand the frame to the spectator to remove the card, once it magically appears, without any fear of them discovering anything because everything is clean.

The Presto Card Frame was an early elegant beauty developed by Floyd Thayer c. 1905 (according to Dr. Albo on Disc 5 in The Ultimate Thayer). There were three sizes created: Stage or Jumbo, Close-up on a stand and hand-held. This is the middle Close-up on a stand version. Over the years the styles have changed and have become even more ornate. This appears to be one of the earlier versions.
Now if you are looking for a clever mechanical method you will probably be disappointed, however if you are looking for a practical frame to reproduce a card that can be fully examined, is easy to do, easy to set-up with nothing really to go wrong then this is the one you want.
Sometimes as magicians we forget about the effect and get more excited about the method. This frame is much better than a sand frame or most other types of frames to produce a card I can think of. You can even hand the frame to the spectator to open and remove the card pinned behind the glass. Try doing that with other types of frame!

When I was looking for a high quality Devil’s hank for an old Thayer item I immediately thought of the beautiful silk work of Lynetta Welch at Fabric Manipulation.
And this Devil’s Pocket Square fits the bill perfectly. The exact right size, can handle a good size load, and with an easy to find bead so you know where to place the object for vanishing without looking. Sometimes it is the simple things that make all the difference to a performance and this beautiful silk square really dresses up the routine.

This is Thomas’ version of the Mini Card Spider effect, made famous by another amazing German craftsman – Tony Lackner and his Crescensia The Card Spider. But, as is often the case, Thomas has broken new ground and taken the effect to a whole new level. Instead of having the chosen card appearing inside the Spider’s web, he first causes the card to appear face down and after making a suitable comment the card eventually turns face up and of course it is the spectator’s selected card.
A lot more work has gone into Oxana than previous mini versions and you will find this a joy to use – it is easy to do and although the props cannot be given out for examination there is nothing obvious to see even close-up.
This is the perfect way to launch the Bling Series – great job Thomas 🙂

Don’t let the Bling fool you – this Color Die is a very finely crafted item, with amazing tolerances – the fact that Thomas gets three full changes out of this is quite amazing – where does he hide it all? This ones takes a little practice to make the transitions smooth – (I’m talking minutes not hours) – but it won’t be long before you are fooling yourself. Another really impressive effect for Thomas’ fortieth celebration. There is no doubt Thomas still has plenty of kick left in him 🙂

Thomas has really outdone himself on this release – the items inside this box are really amazing. Hard to believe that after forty years Thomas is still creating new and interesting items – but believe it he is 🙂

The Magic Eye is probably my favorite of the Bling items – the method is really quite amazing and certainly unique. Even if you think you might have seen something like this before, I guarantee you will be surprised and very happy with the method. Although you might be thinking of Ed Mellon’s Quantimental – you will be wrong, this is so much cleaner and better. The method is not only unique it is very practical and nigh on fool proof. If a spectator changes his mind and moves the chips around or doesn’t place a chip down and slips it in his pocket, it won’t matter you’ll be able to tell.
It is incredibly easy to do and automatic in operation. There is no reset and you can show everything all around. This is really a wonderful piece of magic with zero electronics and nothing added or taken away.
Really amazing Thomas 🙂

This is another clever and very easy to perform illusion from Thomas. It works perfectly with no reset and nothing added or taken away. It really is a fooler.
These four items are amazing Thomas – I don’t know how you keep coming up with cool magic forty years later. Great job Thomas 🙂

The earliest version of this type of drawer box I could find with the end of the box hinged was one by Thayer mentioned in Dr. Albo’s Vol. XI – Laboratories of Legerdemain (pg. 85) with a date c. 1910. The first catalog listing I could find was in Thayer’s Catalog 9 Volume 2 c. 1943. There it was called Thayer’s Ultra De Luxe Drawer Box. However, this box is not quite the same as the drawer itself does not lock. An Owen’s version was also pictured in Dr. Albo’s Classic Magic With Apparatus Vol. II.
This is a very pretty, interesting, and quite rare Drawer Box from Owen Magic Supreme that works perfectly. It has the added feature of the hinged open back so after the production the drawer may be placed aside, and the arm shoved completely through the box and wave to the audience at the other end.
